How Was Anthony Davis' High School BBall Team This Terrible?

This is Anthony Davis in high school. He looks like Robin Williams in that basketball scene in Jack. I don’t remember exactly whether Robin Williams and his simian hands reigned threes and dunk all over unsuspecting children, but Anthony Davis sure did.

(By the way, can you imagine the horror that you and the mother of your child would feel if you were in a Jack scenario.

Doctor: I’m so sorry, Mr. and Mrs SoandSo, your child has a rare and incurable disease that will cause him to grow at an unnaturally fast rate.

Parents: Well what does that mean? Is this fatal?

Doctor: No, it’s not fatal, but unfortunately, that’s not the only bad news. Outside of his incredible growth rate, he will also look and act exactly like Robin Williams.

Parents: AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!)

After you’ve watch that video, explain to me how this is possible:

During his junior year, his family considered having him transfer to one of Chicago’s basketball powerhouses, but Hyde Park Career Academyhead coach Donnie Kirksey, who knew Davis, Sr. well, advised against it saying “If you’re good enough, they’ll find you wherever you are.”[3] Perspectives finished the season 8–15.[3]

8-15? You’re Anthony F’ing Davis! 6’10 inches of dunking, blocking and dream shattering basketball machine and you’re acting like a member of the Wizards.

I’m certain he was just learning to play within himself. Let’s see what he did his senior year:

It’s absolutely astonishing that such a dominant player could play on such an awful basketball team. It reminds me a lot of what Corey Magette is doing for Charlotte this year. Wasted talent on an unprecented level.
